Are you running on 100+ octane or are those numbers for 91? Also, how does the turbofold work? Is the header and turbo actually one piece?

Yes the turbo and manifold are one but the 02 housing is separate that part can be enlarged easily for better flow. the CHR can be removed for servicing as well. does that make any sense? sorry that I can't explain it any better.

I never dynoed the car on regular 91 octane but I always mix alittle 100 octane unleaded fuel with 91 octane unleaded the car just runs alot smoother.

Have you ever considered doing methanol injection? That's what my brother is using on his Turbo Buick. He'll be at the dyno day (as long as he fixes his power master in time) so you can check it out. Vettezuki also mixes Torco with his gas for a little extra octane.

I used methanol / water injection awhile back but I had problems with it killing my throttle position sensor and idle circuit solenoid .:mad:

How strange :( I don't think the TurboBuicks/Grand Nationals have that problem. My brother did have a problem with an improper ground though and the pump kept shorting...

Maybe other people have had better luck than me.:huh:

It was fine once wired correctly. Simply an installation problem.

I think too much alcohol involved in the install - and not the alcohol in the tank :rolling:

:sm_laughing: I wish I saw more Turbo buicks running around on the street. That was the first turbo American car I really wanted and I still do.

My brother too - he saw one and that was it. He's owned two now - his first one got stolen at the Brea mall :mad:
